The paper introduces a probabilistic tractography method that avoids random sampling by modeling as an absorbing Markov chain, showing improved reliability and applicability to clinical and neonatal data.

The paper presents a curated dataset of processed diffusion MRI data from the ABCD Study, showing that specific diffusion metrics are sensitive to adolescent white matter development and robust to image quality variation.

This study shows that gray and white matter myelination are synchronized in early infancy, with synchrony linked to gestational age and motor outcomes.

This study examines the effects of two-week reading training on preschoolers' letter knowledge, decoding skills, and white matter structure, finding skill improvements without significant white matter changes.

The paper examines the relationship between white matter properties and reading skill development using longitudinal and cross-sectional data, finding that reading skill gains correspond to longitudinal white matter changes but not individual differences in white matter.

This study links developmental changes in alpha rhythm to visual white matter maturation and visual detection performance using dMRI-EEG data.

The study examines age-related changes in white matter properties of optic radiations carrying foveal, macular, and peripheral visual field information using diffusion MRI data from the UK Biobank.

The paper finds that myelin growth slows after birth, particularly in preterm infants, and links this delay to long-term developmental consequences.

This study uses diffusion MRI and a CNN to show glaucoma has a unique non-linear effect on optic radiation tissue properties, unlike linear effects on other brain connections.

The paper curates and provides analysis-ready diffusion MRI data for pediatric brain white-matter research, including automated quality control using a trained neural network.

This study evaluates the reliability of dMRI-based tractometry by assessing reproducibility, test-retest reliability, and robustness using software and datasets from the Human Connectome Project and clinical-grade measurements.

The paper shows that maturation of optic radiations in childhood influences the speed and amplitude of visual cortex responses to high contrast stimuli.

This paper implements Diffusional Kurtosis Imaging (DKI) in the DIPY project, demonstrating its utility for microstructural analysis and tractography in brain imaging.
